Ben Carrasco is an outstanding attorney. He worked diligently and intelligently on my behalf in a matter that was both complex and contentious. He was nearly always available to answer my many questions and did so clearly and concisely. I was particularly impressed by his attention to detail and his ...poise before the court. I quickly became quite myself confident that no matter the issue or obstacle Ben would be well prepared and mentally agile in his approach and practice. I highly recommend Ben for difficult divorce and custody issues.

I have used several attorneys over the years on business related matters, so I have a good basis against which to compare Mr. Carrasco's performance. I came to Ben as Plaintiff in a case that had been ongoing for some time and which needed a top notch litigator to take it to trial. The time to tr...ial was short, a matter of weeks, which made the challenge even greater. That notwithstanding, Ben was exceptional in comprehending and organizing our case and its presentation to the court. On his own, and without my asking, Ben created Exhibits which he presented at the trial to help the Judge understand the critical elements of our case. I was impressed by that as in the past I had to suggest these things to the attorneys I had used. At the trial Ben performed with the perfect amount of controlled aggression not letting the Defendants get one over on us while at the same time remaining completely professional and within the rules of decorum of the court. The Defendant and his attorney immediately got the message that we were not going to be pushed around. Ben performed better in court than attorneys with 20 years of experience and believe me, I know, having used those guys in the past and having paid their high fees, win or lose. With respect to Ben's fees, I found them entirely reasonable. Additionally, Ben worked with us on his fee as we are by no means wealthy and we pursued the lawsuit on principle rather than expecting a large monetary gain from it. Bottom line: Ben Carrasco cared about our case and more importantly he cared about us personally as human beings. He "got it" that we sued the Defendant based on principle and not for money. A lot of lawyers don't seem to care about that, you're just "another case" to them. Not so with Ben, I highly recommend Ben Carrasco for any legal matter you may have. He's honest, hard working, very knowledgeable, and aggressive in representing you.

Allow me to give you, the reader, a bit of background before I go into Mr. Carrasco's review: I'm a single father of two children, and we're currently caught up in an interstate custody issue. That being said, custody issues (and family law issues, in general) tend to get complex. They can be ver...y time consuming, costly, and hard on your heart and soul. Now imagine dealing with two courts, two states, and sifting through legislation, family codes, and statutes between both forums. It's a train wreck. Enter: Ben Carrasco. Early on in my situation, I need a lawyer who could pick up quickly, get up to speed ever quicker, and could be readily attentive at a moment's notice. Mr. Carrasco's response was incredibly fast. I had consulted several attorneys, in both states, and just didn't "get the feeling" until I had spoken to Ben. Being from a family with roots in law practice, I did come in fairly organized. Documentation, accurate expression of events, timelines, etc; This obviously helps any attorney approach your case faster. Ben assembled all facts, prepared the first portions of my case, and had all corresponding laws, statutes, and references at an impressive speed. Both times, thus far in court, his presentation was confident, precise, and backed by facts. In my experience with lawyers, I can easily call this guy a "heavy hitter." His primary concern has been, and continues to be, the welfare of the children. If you're looking for an attorney that is going to give you fluff, or blow sunshine up your skirt, Mr. Carrasco is most likely NOT the attorney for you. He deals in facts, hard evidence, and logic. His honesty and professionalism doesn't afford him the luxury of giving you false expectations or hopes. You'll always know what needs to be done, what is expected, and which angles to approach. Truthfully, I'm still in the middle of my battle, and the case isn't concluded yet, but even if I were to lose my case, I can tell you with the utmost confidence that I am genuinely impressed with Ben's performance, attitude, and his flexibility. He's taken plenty of time after hours to assist me in an emergency, questions, or filings. He knows I'm not a man who really comes from money, and has been very flexible with that, as well. Most of us would much rather not have such expenses in our lives, but there comes a time, for some of us, when you've got to put up a fight for the well being of your loved ones. If that becomes the case, make sure you hire a heavy hitter, Like Ben Carrasco. I hope this review helps you, and good luck in fighting the good fight.
